News in short

  • Claude Meetings brings live AI meeting assistance to Google Meet for Team and Enterprise subscribers.
  • Claude can answer questions, take notes and create documents, whiteboards and other work artifacts during calls.
  • After a meeting, participants can revisit its transcript, summary, action items and files on Claude.
  • The beta is rolling out now, with other video platforms planned for a later release.

Anthropic is bringing Claude directly into workplace video calls with a new feature called Claude Meetings. The AI assistant can join a Google Meet session as a visible participant. It follows the discussion and helps teams turn ideas into work while the meeting is still underway.

The beta is rolling out to Claude Team and Enterprise subscribers. At launch, Google Meet is the only supported video conferencing platform. Anthropic says it is working to add support for other services.

What Claude Meetings can do during a call

Meeting participants can ask Claude questions aloud or through the Google Meet chat. It responds in writing by default. With permission, it can also use connected tools to look up information and bring relevant details into the discussion.

Claude can create documents, whiteboards and other artifacts based on what the team discusses. For example, a project meeting can turn into a draft plan, while a discussion about deadlines can become a visual timeline. People invited to the meeting can refine these materials as Claude builds them.

This approach moves AI assistance beyond meeting transcription. Teams can start producing plans and shared documents before the call ends, rather than waiting for someone to write everything up later.

Meeting notes, transcripts and privacy controls

After the call, Claude creates a meeting page on claude.ai. It contains the transcript, summary, notes, action items and any documents or whiteboards created during the session. Invited colleagues from the organisation can revisit the page, edit the materials and ask Claude about meetings they attended.

Anthropic says Claude saves a text transcript, summary and descriptions of shared screens. It does not record meeting audio. Claude also appears as a visible participant and posts a notice in the meeting chat when it joins.

Organisations can manage whether Claude joins meetings with external guests. Team and Enterprise plans have different default controls. Anthropic advises users to tell participants about transcription and obtain their consent before enabling the feature.

Claude Meetings availability and beta pricing

Claude Meetings is rolling out in beta on Team and Enterprise plans in Claude and Claude Desktop. Team access is enabled by default, although an owner can switch it off. Enterprise administrators must enable the feature for their organisation or selected groups.

The beta is not available to organisations using zero data retention, HIPAA-ready configurations or customer-managed encryption keys. Anthropic has not announced a wider consumer rollout or a launch date for other video platforms.

During the beta, meeting notes, transcripts and answers that do not use connected tools are included in Team and Enterprise plans. Using connected tools counts towards the organisation’s usage. Documents, whiteboards and other artifacts created during meetings are free until February 10, 2027.

Why Claude Meetings matters for workplace AI

Claude Meetings points to a shift in how businesses may use AI assistants. Instead of only summarising conversations, an assistant can help create the work that follows from them. That could reduce manual follow-ups for project planning, brainstorming and team reviews.

However, organisations will need clear rules around meeting access, connected tools and participant consent.
